How do you dispose of … RESOLVED

[french frank]

How about a soldering iron? The hot tip of such should heavily disrupt the magnetic properties of a hard disc platter if dragged slowly across its surface.

I will see if I have a soldering iron anywhere …

You do seem to have an interesting collection of tools. Blow torches perhaps? Then of course you could try chemicals - acid baths etc.

I think I have a blow torch (not a soldering iron, though).

...and that concludes the case for the Defence, m'Lord.

... I think I have a blow torch ,,, .

That should do the job magnificently, probably destroying the magnetic layer altogether, though I would suggest using it in the open air, (not sure what toxic gases might be released in the process).

yes, serious heat of one kind of another does seem to be the way forward.

And then, ff, you could have a little crème brûlée prepared and standing by, ready for some light torching after, to celebrate!

Indeed - and should you need any suggestions about how to dispose of any unwanted crèmes brûlée, I think I might be better able to help than I have been hithertofore on this Thread.

Eh? Creme brûlées ,surely ?!
( which my predictive text gave as crime brûlée.....)

Oh, you lawyers!

Actually, the blowtorch hadn't been used for ages was no longer serviceable. I went back to the small hacksaw.

Btw, in the background is a candle for greasing the blade (ceci n'est pas un blowtorch).

Brava!

How long did that take?

Do you have a vice? (.... Settle down at the back!)

I shouldn't think so - "brulee" means "burnt", and I wouldn't ask for six "cream burnts, please". In English, it would be "six Burnt Creams, please", so I presumed that would be what to ask for in France?

Both wrong, I'd say. Une crème brûlée, deux crèmes brûlées.

I do have a small Elu router but not a real table saw - just a small mitre saw which I 'done for' by not fastening my wood down securely enough

I also have a brass dovetail marker, a dovetail saw, a small silver cast iron shoulder plane (in its own box which I made), a handmade wooden mallet (never used because it looks too beautiful ), a Verniers gauge - just the usual things people have knocking around in their sheds …

Hidden talents, indeed. If you mosied on over to The Woodhaven 2 then you'd be made very welcome 'cos they're a friendly lot. www.thewoodhaven2.co.uk
